5G is the next generation of wireless technology expected to transform the way people live and work. It promises faster download speeds and lower latency, opening up new use cases such as cloud gaming. 4G LTE is currently the fastest wireless technology available to most people.

Which iPhones will get 5G support? Apple iPhone users can try out 5G service on their devices by downloading the iOS 16.2 beta update but must sign up for the beta on Apple's website. Unfortunately, not all iPhone users have access to the 5G services, even after downloading the iOS 16.2 beta software update. The following iPhone models, iPhone 14, iPhone 13, iPhone 12, and iPhone SE (3), are the ones getting the 5G services.

The advantage of installing beta software on Apple devices is that you can try out new features in front of the general public. Beta users will also help refine the updated software before it is ready for a broader rollout.

Apple recommends downloading beta software only to spare iPhones that are not primary devices.

Apple's 5G software update beta rollout came last month after the Indian government urged Apple and other smartphone makers to prioritize its faster 5G software upgrades. Major smartphone makers such as OnePlus and Motorola have begun rolling out their 5G updates in phases.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi unveiled his 5G service last month at the India Mobile Congress in October. Jio recently started beta testing its 5G service in four cities in India. Rival Airtel offers high-speed connections in eight cities. Both operators plan to expand their services across India by the end of next year. Another major telecom operator, Vodafone, has yet to reveal any plans to roll out its 5G service in the country.

A new iOS bug is causing iPhones to crash when a specific sequence of four characters (""::) is typed into certain search fields, like the Settings app or App Library. The bug triggers Apple's Springboard to crash, briefly returning users to the lock screen. While it’s an annoying issue, it poses no security risk or data loss. Tests show that the bug affects iOS 17 more severely than iOS 18. Apple has not yet addressed the issue, so users are advised to avoid typing this sequence until a fix is released.
